CBSE Class 9 Answered
Why are cheek ephithelial cells always moist?
Asked by Chetan Bhardwaj | 23 Dec, 2013, 11:12: PM
Expert Answer
Cheek cells secrete a continuous supply of mucin, the principal element of mucous. In combination with the salivary glands, the mucin maintains a moist environment in the oral cavity.
A sufficient moisture content must be continually sustained in order to aid enzymes in softening food, facilitate swallowing, and initiate the process of digestion.
